In one of my recent posts I pointed out that one thing we are missing to build (or maintain) a functioning community is the lack of confrontation with the "other" in a productive way. We're searching for echo-chambers, both online as offline, and never allow ourselves to be confronted with the way that others think, with their values and ideas on how to solve the current problems.

Finding compromise is a result of just that. As soon as we comprehend that the "other" is not a dangerous animal that wants to kill us, but a human that just has different ideas on how things should run in order to achieve the best possible outcome for the largest number of people, we can consider them as such and finally find those compromises. A compromise is nothing but a solution that considers several parts of stakeholders. But in an individualist society, consideration is losing ground quickly.
